Sure, and the TV station can blind all the viewers by shining a laser
into the camera.  Does anyone have any evidence that anyone actually
got his eardrum ruptured this way?  I don't mean, "I heard from a

sources.  If this happened to somebody, the first thing they would do,
in this society, is sue the phone company and probably get rich.
